How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, student host, school website, my Tulane application

What impressed you positively?

The students do seem to truly love it there, there's a sense of pride since many of them were there when Katrina hit. They also are in the middle of adding some new facilities, lecture halls, etc. that seem REALLY nice and high-tech.

What impressed you negatively?

The location feels very unsafe. Many of my interviewers seemed like they were quizzing me on whether I would want to live in a place with so much crime. The students also seem kind of isolated, the ones I talked to go out on Bourbon street when they go out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The med school campus is not on the nice uptown campus where the undergrad is. It is literally right next to the Superdome.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interview was great, really laid back. I stayed with a student host which was great because i really got a feel for what it would be like to go there, and she drove me to campus and dropped me off for my interview in the morning. Overall it's a great school in not such a prime location.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
